I'm fine with it as long as they're properly trained and respect it.

Everything before that states the funds allocated by the act can't be used to fly or display a flag other than a government flag.

A public employee couldn't spend embassy or facility money on a non-government flag, but I haven't read anything about them spending their own money and still flying the flag.

Clickbait. The actual resolution prohibits the use of the funds being allocated from the new budget to be used on anything other than government related flags. This is just funding for flags, there's no outright ban on pride flags.

Resolution Sauce (pg. 1000)

(b) None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be obligated or expended to fly or display a flag over a facility of the United States Department of State-

Say what you will, but at the end of Trump's presidency Pence grew a spine and told him to fuck off.

Trump was hanging onto the idea that Pence would magically solve his problem by denying the certification. Of course, Trump's cult went to the capitol to try and hang him. I hope he endorses the other candidates, or Biden when it comes to it. It'd be a massive middle finger to the entire cult.

Did he say anything about actually doing something about it? Some-sort of shrinkflation law or something?

The transition to Discord for communities really sucks. It's impossible to find information now that everything is gated to unsearchable servers.

The only good thing to come out of RIOT are the animations. Those don't require exposing myself to the CCP.

It's 100% moral to pirate Ubisoft games. I exclusively play Anno, since 2070 I DON'T pirate them.

I love the series, but I'd be happy if Ubisoft went belly-up tomorrow and never saw another game in the series. It's a fair exchange to see a bloated, rotting corpse of a monster finally die.
